 Moisturizing: The Path To Beautiful Skin

 

The Path To Beautiful Skin Begins With Natural Cleansing and Moisturizing

Moisturizers play a crucial role in keeping your skin hydrated and supple. However, the cosmetic industry often overwhelms us with a myriad of expensive, beautifully packaged products that promise miraculous results.

At our core, we do not promise miracles. Instead, we offer natural, safe products made with wholesome plant oils and butters that nourish and protect your skin.

Our products are free from synthetic fragrances, colors, and chemical preservatives, ensuring you can feel good about what you are putting on your skin.

Typically, moisturizers are categorized as lotions or creams based on their oil-to-water ratio.

Lotions, with their high water content, may offer initial hydration, but this benefit is short-lived. As the water evaporates, the skin can become dry once again. Furthermore, the presence of water in these products necessitates the addition of preservatives to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life.

Our moisturizers take a different approach. We eliminate water from our formulations, instead focusing on concentrated blends of nourishing oils and butters. These rich, emollient products provide long-lasting protection and hydration.

Generally, products with more oil are more emollient and provide greater long-lasting protection. While our concentrated creams may feel richer and heavier initially, they fully absorb over time, leaving no greasy residue. Unlike lotions that disappear within seconds, our creams take a few minutes to absorb, but the results are worth the wait. With our moisturizers, you will find that you need to reapply less often, enjoying softer, healthier-looking skin for longer.

HINT: If you enjoy the application "feeling" of a lotion better than a cream, try massaging our rich Whipped Butters into warm, wet skin after a bath or shower. Wait a few moments and gently pat dry.  Since a lotion is just a lot of water mixed with oils, a rich and creamy natural butter on warm, wet skin will have a similar feel.

We are often asked, "With so many moisturizers to choose from, what sets them apart?" Our collection of natural moisturizers may seem overwhelming at first, but each product is carefully crafted to address specific skin needs. 

We hope the information below will help you choose the best moisturizer for your skin type.

 

Whipped Shea Butter

Pamper your skin with our whipped shea butter, a silky head-to-toe body cream with a lightweight, velvety texture that instantly melts on contact with warm skin to help to help seal in moisture.

This rich, moisturizing treat provides long-lasting hydration to the face, hands, feet, cuticles, lips, legs, elbows, stretch marks, and any part that needs TLC. A little goes a long way!

Perfect for skin that's lost its moisture, our whipped shea butter helps soothe dryness and itchiness, revive dull, ashen complexions, and leave skin feeling soft and misturized. 

While we call it a body butter, it is also an excellent solution for dry, parched facial skin.
